A delightful recipe for lamb chops marinated in a blend of fresh herbs and spices, then grilled to perfection.
In a mixing bowl, combine minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme leaves, cayenne pepper, sea salt, lemon juice, and olive oil.
Chop the herbs finely to release their full flavor into the marinade.
Place the lamb chops in a zip-top bag and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated.
Massage the marinade into the meat for even flavor distribution.
Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to infuse.
Overnight marination yields the best results, but even an hour can make a difference.
Remove the lamb chops from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for about 20 minutes.
Bringing the meat to room temperature ensures even cooking.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Discard the marinade and place the lamb chops on the grill.
Ensure the grill is clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
Grill the lamb chops for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium doneness.
Use a meat thermometer to check for your desired doneness.
Remove the lamb chops from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the meat tender.
Serve the lamb chops with your favorite sides and enjoy!
Garnish with a sprig of rosemary for a touch of elegance.
